The Best Songs Come From The 80's....Yes or No?

mssexygirl27
mssexygirl27: Music is one of my biggest passions. I wake up with music and I go to bed listening to music. I love it. I listen to a lot of different styles of music but I always seem to go back to the music from the 80's. I think a lot of great songs were written and produced during the 80's. Here is a list of some of my very favorite songs from that decade. I am missing many other great songs but to remember and list them would take forever.

Mz Demeanor: You have definitely listed some of the classics in Pop, Hard Rock, New Wave which were the biggies from the 80s. I started a forum for 80s hair bands that hard rock genre but there's so many pop ones that were good too. Wake Me Up Before You Go Go came on the radio last week and I still have to turn that one up. And whenever I hear Don't You Forget About Me I remember the Pretty In Pink and Sixteen Candles movies.

mssexygirl27: I tried to list from different music styles...these songs always make me want to turn up my voiume and dance off to them!

Where is that forum for 80's hair bands? I want to see! I love 80's hair bands.

Each time I hear Don't You Forget About Me and If You Leave I always think of those movies too! I love The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink. The 80's were really something.

I notice you've got Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For a Hero" but don't have this one. This one was my favourite from her.

Mz Demeanor: Ahem.....I've just noticed there are no Bon Jovi songs on your list. An 80s list is not complete without Bon Jovi. I think their biggest hits would be "Livin' on A Prayer" and "Dead Or Alive" but one of my favourites is "I'll Be There For You"

Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes
Don't You Want Me - Human League
Tainted Love - Soft Cell

Mz Demeanor: There were so many good songs in the 80s, its understandable its hard to reduce it to 50 or 100. Glad to hear you had Journey in the other part of your top 100. Journey is a fav of mine too.

You've got some of the great love songs by Air Supply on the list but there's another band that did some awesome love songs: REO Speedwagon.

Take It On The Run
Keep On Loving You
